Bridge the critical gap between AI transparency and security with this essential guide to the systematic defense frameworks and ethical strategies needed to protect explainable AI (XAI) systems from sophisticated adversarial attacks.
In the artificial intelligence era, explainable AI (XAI) is an essential breakthrough that plays a vital role in unfolding complex AI model decisions and predictions. However, adversarial attacks can break XAI systems and create dangerous cyber threats. This book is a fundamental guide to the systematic framework and solutions surrounding XAI and its vulnerabilities. It presents strategies for detecting adversarial attacks and focuses on various attack scenarios and defense mechanisms essential in stimulating AI systems. The book will provide a systematic and detailed exploration of the complexity of adversarial attacks on XAI systems and propose theoretical concepts, methodological solutions, and essential tools for protecting the XAI systems against adversarial attacks. Thus, the presented book will provide insights for researchers, academicians, governments, industries, and stakeholders to fill the gap in understating the XAI theory and its real-time applications with possible solutions. It will also provide insights into the ethical considerations concerning XAI in inviting users to study and deliver moral behaviours. Lastly, it will represent the broader perspectives on XAI with its growth, applications, vulnerabilities, defence mechanisms, and ethical considerations. Moreover, the case studies are on real-life applications such as healthcare, environmental studies, finance sectors, legal systems, cybersecurity, educational studies, crewless vehicles, and industrial processes.
